Episode: “Casino Night”

Ever since I was a little kid, like 8 or 9, I could sort of control things with my mind. Just little things, you know, like I could make something shake or I could make a marble fall off the counter.

Pam gets the assist on this one.

Episode: “Conflict Resolution”

This montage of complaints including paying each office member $5 to call Dwight Dwayne for a day, convincing him a baby was trapped in the women’s bathroom, using a macro to get his computer to correct “Dwight” to “Diapers”, replacing his pencils with crayons, planting a bloody glove and accusing him of murder, and moving his desk every time he got up.

The most complex is the nickels one – he loaded the phone up with nickels until Dwight was used to the weight, then took them all out and made him hit himself in the head.

We never see any of these pranks on screen – they are revealed to us when Michael reads Dwight’s complaints box.

Episode: “Dwight’s Speech”

The first prank to really backfire on Jim. When Dwight gets nervous about giving his salesman of the year acceptance speech, Jim tells him to study the speeches of famous dictators like Mussolini, hoping to make him look like a maniac. He partially succeeds, but the speech was still very well-received by the audience.
